On the plane, Yun Li began to tell Jiang Shiyu about how much money she received in red envelopes for the New Year. She counted carefully on her fingers, "My grandmother gave me five hundred, and my grandfather also gave me five hundred. My uncle and aunt each gave me five hundred, while my aunt gave me eight hundred, and my uncle gave me eight hundred as well. My grandparents each gave me a thousand."
There were so many relatives at home that Yun Li extended her other hand to count. With a bright smile, her expression grew even more radiant with each number she recited. "It’s almost ten thousand yuan," she said softly, as if presenting a treasure.
Jiang Shiyu lazily lowered his eyelids to look at her, his voice filled with a mix of weariness and affection. "That’s quite a lot."
Yun Li nodded eagerly like a little rabbit. "What about you? How much did you get for your red envelope?"
Jiang Shiyu thought for a moment and then pulled out a bank card from his bag. "They transferred it directly into this card. Take a look."
A golden bank card landed in Yun Li's palm, and for some reason, the color felt heavy with significance. She held the golden card up to examine it. "This color is so beautiful."
Jiang Shiyu smiled. "If you like it, it's yours."
Yun Li immediately returned it to him as if it were a hot potato. "Do you think I'm foolish? This card is clearly something your family prepared for you. How can I take it? What would I tell your family?"
"Besides, aren't you afraid I'll just transfer all your money away?"
"It was meant for you in the first place."
Yun Li blinked her curled eyelashes, fluttering like little fans. "You're joking; that's not funny at all."
Jiang Shiyu pressed the card back into her hand. "This is your New Year money from me."
"I don’t want it."
"Didn’t you say this was money from your family?"
"My New Year money is just yours too!"
Yun Li glanced at the patterns on the golden card and shot him a sideways look. "You're just using flowers to present Buddha."
"I have plenty of New Year money; you don't need to give me any. It makes you seem like my elder."
"Who says only elders can give New Year money? Husbands can give too."
As soon as those words left his mouth, the golden card slipped from Yun Li's fingertips, and her breath caught in her throat; her heart skipped a beat unexpectedly.
As a blush slowly crept up her face, Yun Li felt her ears begin to burn, as if they were on fire. She straightened her posture, avoiding his gaze, and muttered, "Inappropriate."
Jiang Shiyu picked up the card, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, lazily grinning. It seemed he hadn’t slept well the night before, having leaned against her to doze off. Given their height difference, Yun Li adjusted her position slightly to make him more comfortable.
Eventually, Jiang Shiyu woke up right on time, his eyes slightly red and still half-asleep, exuding a sense of laziness. He stretched his neck and spoke in a hoarse voice that hinted at just waking up, "Let’s go!"
The two exited the airport and took a taxi to drop her off at school. Many students had arrived at the campus by then, and the area around the apartment building was bustling with people coming and going.
Yun Li felt uneasy under the strange gazes of others. Jiang Shiyu set down his suitcase, prompting her to hurry him along. "You should go!"
It was obvious she wanted him to leave quickly. Yet Jiang Shiyu seemed oblivious to the attention they were attracting, appearing completely at ease as if this were his territory. With his hands stuffed in his pockets, he leaned casually against the suitcase, as if to say that it hadn’t been long enough for him to tire of this.
His voice was lazy, almost accusing her of being fickle. Yun Li glanced around and sighed in resignation; she had given in.
Jiang Shiyu was never one to blend into the background. "Are you sure you want to stay here after I leave?" he asked, looking toward the apartment entrance where two figures were approaching.
He slightly lifted his chin. "They’re coming."
Yun Li turned to see Qin Nianchu and Chen Jin Xiu approaching. Without saying a word, they grabbed the suitcase from beside Yun Li and headed into the apartment.
"Hey, what are you two doing?" she called out.
Neither responded; their only goal was to carry away the suitcase.
